Afterburn 2 4.1% (Festival Special)
A 4.5 gallon pin of the light and hoppy ‘Customer Service’ specially infused with two types of chilli. The resultant beer has a modest initial burn, but with a grassy perfume.

Camping on the Comet 4.5% (Festival Special)
Castor’s ‘Dark Side of the Comet’ with a generous amount of Camp Coffee added to further enhance the coffee overtones of this silky stout, plus add a slight smoky background courtesy of the chicory.

Mighty Hop’s Happy Daze 4.1% (New)
A classic and refreshing wheat beer. A hit of banana and spice from the yeast and subtle addition of coriander make put this beer in a class of its own. Recipe inherited from the now defunct Mighty Hop Brewery.

Unite Red Ale 4.6% (New)
Rye Red Saison brewed for International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day, this Saison has the classic Belgian yeast flavours enhanced with rye malt flavours and the fruity aromas and taste of Willamette hops. With English and German malts, Belgian yeast and American hops this is truly an international brew!

Halcyon Daze 5.0% (New)
Happy Daze’s funky big sister! This wheat beer has a depth of flavour to satisfy any wheat beer lover. The gentle spicy kick from the coriander combines beautifully with the rich fruity notes produced by the yeast and hops.

Heathen Rhubarb 4.5% (New)
A Best Bitter brewed with rhubarb and honey, and bittered with Centennial and Fuggle hops. Maris Otter and Crystal malts impart a rich brown colour. The result is a beer that tastes like a smooth bitter, but with an interesting dry mouthfeel imparted by the rhubarb.

Heathen Honey 5.5% (New)
Honeyed West Coast IPA which is a refreshing rich and balanced pale ale brewed with Pilsener, Munich and Crystal malts, locally sourced honey and West Coast yeast. The floral hoppy notes and bitter finish result from the addition of a ‘pot pourrie’ of four New World hop varieties.

Hoppy Blonde 4.3% (New)
Blending Ahtanum, Simcoe, Admiral and Citra hops to produce a refreshingly spicy, citrus tasting beer with a satisfying dry, bitter finish. The brewers’ take on a Belgian blonde. Light in colour but big on taste

Rood 4.4% (New)
Rood, pronounced ‘ROWT’, is Belgian for red. A harmonious blend of malty, subtle spicy and candied fruit flavour notes are to be found in this beer which tastes as good as it looks! A skilful blend of Admiral, Bramling Cross and Simcoe produce a hoppy red with a malty balance.

Forager’s Gold 4.0% (New)
A crisp golden ale with a slight amber finish, from a small amount of crystal malt. The Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, produce a very drinkable, smooth and refreshing beer with slight caramel notes.

Monocle 4.6%
A very smooth well balanced stout. The fine blend of speciality malts used gives this beer a fantastic malty aroma, with a slight dry finish.

Ammo Belle 5.6% (New)
A well hopped American Pale Ale, which is slightly hazy in appearance. Generously hopped with Cascade and Citra, it delivers a great floral aroma, lots of fruity notes, and a moderately dry finish.

Dorset Pearl 4.3% (New)
Made to celebrate the re-launch of Town Mill Brewery as Lyme Regis Brewery, this is a classic amber ale with a refreshing floral aroma and gentle bitterness. Brewed in collaboration with Gyle 59 at Lyme Regis Brewery.

Gilt Complex (4.6) (Festival Special)
A huge hop aroma introduces the “King of the Golden Beers”. There is a hint of spice in the fruity flavour and a long finish that completes this classic beer. Specially dry-hopped with Amarillo.

Greensand IPA (4.6) (Festival Special)
Strong flavoured and easily drinkable IPA with intense grapefruit and hops in the aroma plus a soft citrus finish. Even more of a real hop monster than usual! Specially dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin.

Single Hop Centennial 4.4% (Limited Edition)
The Centennial hop is one of brewing’s big beasts! It’s a Pacific Coast monster which gives lip-tingling citrus flavours with an enticing floral aroma.

Single Hop East Kent Goldings 4.4% (Limited Edition)
These quintessentially English hops are England’s most famous and by law can only be grown in East Kent. Since 1790 they have been delivering their characteristic notes of spices, sweet citrus and a wonderful floral aroma to the grateful drinkers of the world. With plenty of EKG added to this beer it’s sure this Golden Ale will be full-flavoured, smooth and utterly drinkable!
